    Because joking about Mexican food causing the shits is a common practice, and so is trying to get cheap laughs in online forums.

      Seeing as it’s so similar to “Montezuma’s Revenge” I’m betting that you’re right, and it’s all just racism.

          My bad, I thought you were making an insightful observation. I’ll be sure not to assume that from you in the future.

          Right. I think the “Mexican Food gives you the shits” probably started from people originally saying they got sick (drinking the water) in Mexico, and it stayed the rumor that Mexican food made in the US does the same.
